Since you specifically asked about a "moderate" load for 158 g. bullets ... I use 1200-1250 fps as the top end for lead in that category. If you start getting into 1300-1450 fps, that is more like "screamer!" That said, I shoot a lot in the 900-1000 fps range just for fun. I am less experienced with handloading jacketed 158's, so won't comment on that.
